As Sands China’s annual signature event, the Sands Shopping Carnival has run for six consecutive years. The carnival helps local SMEs and Sands retailers create more business opportunities with a free business platform and gives local residents and tourists an activity-filled weekend destination. The weekend shopping and leisure hotspot for local residents and visitors has extended its influence into the Greater Bay Area, supporting the Macao government’s ‘tourism+’ initiative.

“With the Sands Shopping Carnival entering its sixth edition, it has become a summer rendezvous for Macao residents,” said Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd. “This initiative has been driven by its original mission from the pandemic to support local SMEs by providing them a free business platform. The unique model of housing local SMEs and Sands retailers under one roof creates a powerful synergy. We have provided nearly 3,400 booths to date, with 540,000 visitors over the past five editions of the carnival, delivering significant sales growth for many local SMEs. The Sands Shopping Carnival has become a tourism and leisure extravaganza and what began as an attraction primarily for visitors from Macao, Hong Kong and Zhuhai has now expanded to draw crowds from across the Greater Bay Area. I would like to express my genuine gratitude to the participating government officials, associations, banking professionals, SMEs, and community organisation representatives for your support of the Sands Shopping Carnival. Our concerted efforts are what make this widely anticipated, signature tourism and leisure extravaganza a success each year.”

Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, director of the Macao Government Tourism Office, said: “The Macao SAR government is committed to promoting diversified development in the tourism and leisure industry, striving to refine and strengthen integrated resorts’ offerings. Shopping remains a pivotal component of the tourism experience. Last month, the China Tourism Academy announced its ‘2024 Top 10 Outbound Tourist Satisfaction Destinations,’ with Macao ranking at the top position for the first time – an achievement made possible by the concerted efforts of the Macao community. We encourage the retail sector to closely align with market demands, continuously introduce products that resonate with customer preferences, and deliver attentive services to solidify Macao’s position as a world centre of tourism and leisure.”

U Kin Cho, vice president of the board of directors of the Macao Chamber of Commerce, said: “Now in its sixth consecutive year, the Sands Shopping Carnival is showcasing an ever-growing reputation. This event has evolved into a local shopping staple and a magnet for tourists seeking to immerse themselves in Macao’s distinctive allure. Such achievements underscore Sands China’s unwavering dedication to fostering mutually beneficial partnerships with local SMEs. The company generously offers a platform for SMEs to exhibit and sell their products at no cost, sharing resources to forge new opportunities as part of their corporate social responsibility. This ongoing commitment injects dynamic vigour into Macao’s economic landscape, promoting diversification and bolstering its esteemed reputation. The carnival steadfastly upholds the ethos of ‘tourism +’ by integrating various sectors, including food, beverage, leisure, and entertainment, across a vibrant four-day affair. Anticipated to emerge as a prominent summer retail destination, it is poised to propel Macao towards a future characterised by diversified industrial growth. Sands China’s collaborative efforts with us epitomise a shared vision to invigorate Macao’s economic vitality.

The coffee zone is new this year, added in response to Macao’s blooming café scene, featuring local and regional brands. Shoppers can stop at the zone to savour moments of slowing down to enjoy life amid their shopping experience. The 2025 Sands Shopping Carnival offers shoppers a limited number of special MOP 1 items each day and huge discounts up to 90 percent off. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own shopping bags to support sustainability.

The number of community organisations participating in the carnival has grown over six years from an initial three to a record-high 19, spanning cultural creativity, food and beverage, household goods, and more. In addition, Sands China has invited some of the outstanding businesses from the company’s Community Revitalisation Series – Entrepreneurship Recruitment Programme for Rua das Estalagens to run booths at the Food Court and Household Products Zone, with the aim of giving them a stronger footing and connecting them with customers. Through such efforts, the carnival has become an event with Macao characteristics that unites the community.

Free parking is available for exhibition-goers, and complimentary shuttle buses are running routes between the carnival and various points throughout the city: Luso International Bank Building at Nam Van, Border Gate, and Hengqin Port (Macao side).

The Sands Shopping Carnival features a variety of shopping, an international-cuisine food court area, and family-friendly entertainment, activities and games. Carnival highlights include:

Growing Enterprise and Sovereign AI Demand Will Fuel Telco GPUaaS Revenue Growth to US$21 billion by 2030

NEW YORK, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Telcos globally have a large opportunity to expand their business beyond connectivity and become the backbone of AI infrastructure for national or regional AI demand. According to global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, the telco industry is set to generate over US$21 billion in GPUaaS revenue by 2030. This revenue growth will be driven by the continued growth in demand for GPU compute by enterprises and the growing requirement of AI sovereignty by governments.

“While the telco GPUaaS market is still at an incredibly early stage, there is significant momentum behind the buildout of AI factories and upgrading existing data center portfolios to better support AI workloads,” says Larbi Belkhit, Industry Analyst at ABI Research. “Demand for access to GPU compute continues to grow, but alongside that is a growing necessity for AI sovereignty and telcos are extremely well positioned to be the preferred and trusted partner for national or regional AI inferencing workloads.”

As of Q1 2025, 17 telcos have announced or built NVIDIA AI factories, which can be utilized not just for internal workloads, but GPUaaS offerings too. These include SoftBank, Reliance Jio, Telenor, TELUS, Ooredoo, and others. The majority of the announced NVIDIA AI factories are in the Asia-Pacific region thus far, followed by Europe and the Middle East and Africa markets. As the buildout continues and telcos become more mature in distributed GPU compute offerings, 2027 is expected to be the inflection point for when GPUaaS revenue for telcos begins to rapidly grow.

Belkhit concludes, “While highly regulated and sovereign-sensitive verticals are prime opportunities, GPUaaS is merely a gateway to a much wider AI monetization strategy for telcos. Developing AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) offerings will strengthen their value proposition compared to other cloud providers who are heavily reliant on GPU demand for their business model.”

These findings are from ABI Research’s The Telco GPUaaS Opportunity report. This report is part of the company’s Telco AI research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.

Average TREO grades by block demonstrate consistent mineralization: Block 1 averaged 3,157 ppm TREO; Block 2 averaged 2,312 ppm TREO; and Block 3 averaged 4,906 ppm TREO. Notably, Block 3 showed high Nd+Pr averages up to 1,108ppm.

Geological Setting and Mineralization Model

The Project area benefits from intense laterization processes typical of Brazil’s tropical climate, which has led to enrichment of titanium and rare earth elements within the weathered profile. The mineralized sequence occurs within extensively oxidized zones of the Mata da Corda Group, with drilling reaching maximum depths of approximately 21 meters.

The strong positive correlation between rare earth elements and titanium, combined with the sequence’s intense magnetism, makes the geological unit highly responsive to geophysical surveys, facilitating future exploration targeting.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

All samples were analyzed by SGS Geosol, considered to be the premier analytical laboratory in Brazil and used by major mining companies. Quality control samples, such as blanks, duplicates and standards (CRM) were inserted into each analytical batch. For all analysis methods, the average number of QA/QC represented 22% of the analytical run.
